SUMMARY:Clean Energy Home Tour Double Header!
DESCRIPTION:Tour Two Clean Energy Homes \nJune Focus:  Fossil Fuel Free Neighbors \nRegister HERE. \n  \nCan you picture your home completely disconnected from fossil fuels? Well\, come to the June Clean Energy Home Tour and see two households who have done just that! These are NOT swanky LEED certified designer houses. Rather\, these are normal homes where the owners have taken steps over time to transition to clean energy. And both households officially capped their natural gas lines! The two homes are connected to the electrical grid; however\, both households signed up for Acton Power Choice GREEN and both households have solar panels\, so their use of the grid relies on renewable sources. The owners look forward to speaking with you about their journeys!  \n  \nThere will be a morning tour (11am) and an afternoon tour (1pm) for each household\, so that you can see one home or both. You can indicate your choices when you register. You are also invited to a light lunch at noon. In between these two neighbors are a set of recently installed solar carports. For those who can stay to eat with us\, Jim Snyder-Grant\, Acton Select Board member and a founder of the  Acton Clean Energy Coach Program\, will give guests an orientation to these new structures and their contribution to the grid. All are welcome free of charge. \n  \nRegister HERE. \n  \nHouse #1 Details \nDuplex with 1200 sq feet of area \n\nSolar panels\nAir source heat pump mini-splits (Fujitsu—one single head and one multi-head)\nAir source heat pump hot water heater (AO Smith 50 gallon)\nAir source heat pump clothes dryer (Miele T1)\nEV and EV charging\nInduction stovetop (Kenmore)\nWhole-house electricity monitoring  (Emporia)\nElectric Lawn Mower\n\n  \nHouse #2 Details \n2400 sq feet built in 1996 \n\nGeothermal Heating and Cooling System (2024)\nSolar Panels : 10 kW PV array on roof\nSolar Battery Storage : 18 kWh Generac battery\nSolar hot water panels on roof\nGreenhouse heat transfer system\nClivus toilet composting system\n4-stage reverse osmosis water filter\nInduction Cooktop\nEV and shared EV charger\nRechargeable electric mower\n\nThe owners write\, “Don’t try to do everything at once\, but make a plan and follow it (Zero Carbon Over Time). Don’t agonize and try for perfection. Very good and sooner is better than perfect and later.” \n  \nEnergizeActon.org is a joint project of the Town of Acton Sustainability Office and the Acton Climate Coalition.  \nInterested in joining us? We welcome your involvement in any way\, large or small. The team meets the first and third Wednesdays of the month at noon. Or just write us to share your ideas.
